    Quoted from Jazman:

    Never heard of it. Do tell!

    Well you see, it's this show that people who love what they do, put tons of time and energy into doing the best thing they can do. Organizers and volunteers actually enjoy what they're doing and it shows in the end result, and how they treat their attendees, helpers, vendors, and exhibitors. Then those helpers, vendors, exhibitors, and even attendees do what they can to make the show the best it can be. Amazing stuff!

    You should check it out!

    This year, all VIPs will be wearing large badges mentioning who they are and what they are being acknowledged for!

    I guess 35+ years of keeping games running doesn't make the cut.

    Quoted from trilogybeer:

    Schedule a time in your room that you'll be available to sign autographs , then you'll be legit .

    I'd go broke man, since I'd have to pay people to take my autograph, I don't have that kind of money. Besides, Taro is the celebrity and does the autographs.

    This show gets more amazing every year. I don't get to see as much of everything that I'd like, since I'm pretty busy from my first step onto the property to the last. What I do get to see is the great people involved with making it all happen. The passion for making this show so great is unprecedented. So many people working their butts off to make the best show possible. It's a labor of love for many, and it's great to see everything come together and the huge number of people that truly enjoy themselves throughout the weekend.

    It was great to see, hang out, and chat with old friends and new. Great to meet those I've not met before, play some awesome games, and drink some awesome beer and other spirits. Thanks to everyone that helped out, thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and supported my efforts with board work or buying parts.

    Special thanks to Hilton and Madison Pinball for the loan of Full Throttle for the charity tournament. Last I heard they raised $170 for the local no-kill shelter. Taro loves you!!

    See everyone next year!!
